May 2009
AFTER THREATS, THE STRIKE

The reform concerning nationalities in the professional championships was Mohammed SY's battle. He decided to launch two wide-ranging actions:

Mobilisation of all the PRO A and PRO B players during the 25th day of championship home matches (refusal to play the first two possessions of all the matches);
A press conference organised by the SNB with the selected players for the 2009 ALL STAR GAME.
Two highly symbolic actions that would put the SNB back on the list of stakeholders who count in French basketball. Few club managers thought that the SNB could mobilise all the players. The result of these actions was convincing. As of the following season, there was a change in the rules concerning the number of foreign players in PRO A and PRO B.

June 2005
THE FIRST CBA

Maurice BEYINA, who was president of the SNB until 2007, notably negotiated and signed the first collective agreement for professional basketball during his term of office in 2005. Even though it has been modified since then, the collective agreement is still applicable today.

April 1988
THE TRIGGERING EVENT

The CCHN (French High Level Club Committee) forerunners of the UCPB (French National Basketball Club Union) including National 1A and 1B clubs, which are the two professional divisions, decided to make a contract of a minimum of 3 years compulsory for players across the board.

The best players targeted by the measure considered it unacceptable and on 25 April, at the end of the Limoges-Orthez match, four players (R. DACOURY, S. OSTROWSKI, F. HUFFNAGEL and D. HAQUET) called a press conference and indicated their disagreement. In light of this proposal, they also wanted to be involved in decisions by the league and to finally create an organisation to represent them.

June 1983
THE FOUNDATION

J.CACHEMIRE tried to mobilise Basketball players by creating the UNGBB (French National Basketball Players’ Union).
However, this attempt to unite the players failed due to a lack of motivation.
